A nice, happy, Mardi Gras thought to you. Well, we all know that Mardi Gras (Fat tuesday) is a celebration that involves much...umm... festivities, especially in Louisianna (sp?) Has anyone ever noticed that Mercredi Sainte, which follows Mardi Gras, if regarded phonetically can have a double meaning? Sainte sounds the same as ceinte, meaning 'pregnant' which is what I'm sure more than a few people end up after a day of such drunken antics. Ironic no, that it's followed by Pregnant Wednesday? xp xd blaugh Oh man, I have way too much time on my hands. Where do I come up with these things?!

	Or maybe the fat-ness is because they're pregnant, not cuz they're chubby. xp

	Depends on which french you are... we learn about how many kinds of french there really are. I've heard it referred to as both. @ mini: it's en ceinte. Two words
